RPGM Dorm Janitor's Revenge [Demo v0.4.2] [Rated Sim]

[JasonJX]

that was a very disappointing use of 30 mins
limiting the save and sprint in this kind of game doesn't raise difficulty its just annoying af
i don't even know what im supposed to be doing, i got cameras but no way to use them and the ai voice guy is just screaming at me to buy the stuff on the computer
i thought i was supposed to be getting jumped by boobs n made to look a fool...i just feel like an asshole walking from left to right slowly cleaning, where the fuck is the femdom?!

You can only skip the day for now by going to sleep or doing any activity that forces you to go to bed and end the day...

Yes by placing camera at night. Except I cannot get the camera shots shown on the front page, where they use the toilet. It only places the camera in the same place. The pictures are the same everyday of the week. I don't know how to get into the safe in one of girl's room's, after blocking the pipes. I think I need to buy the really big upgrade for his room at 2200. Maybe it gives more options or something? Cams the economy is terrible on. How do you make a blackmail page if as soon as you click on a picture, it sells it?

Maybe the game isn't done? Dunno. Kind stuck trying save money up and nothing new happens. I have 6 girls. Saving for the 2200 upgrade just to see if something new happens.

I don't understand placing cat food or condoms.

Wait, seriously? In an RPGM game?
I can only assume it's the devs' first attempt with that engine, cause the endless walking is one of the most hated parts of most RPGMs and deliberately slowing that down even more does not sound like a winning formula.

Yes, I'm working on the hints. The gameplay is planned for around 2yrs and the start might seem a little too grindy without knowing what to do.

Coffee allows you to dash/sprint.

Coffee allows you to dash/sprint.

Hrm. I'm assuming that's to make it more tricky to not get caught snooping around but I doubt it'll improve gameplay in the way you hope.

If the coffee is rare or expensive you need to severely limit the amount of walking that's necessary. Otherwise it's just annoying the hell out of players that getting from A to B takes forever even if you aren't doing something time-sensitive.
On the other hand, if the coffee is cheap or easy to get then you're just adding extra clicks to an engine that's already very clicky.

coffee is the cheapest and infinite. Shouldn't a problem at all in the late game. And yes, the gameplay does rely on selling convenience to the player in some ways.

Use, option, dash on, like every other rpgm. It's easy avoiding them. That isn't the problem. It's the grind. Also a lot of stuff hasn't been implemented. Knowing what's what.

Where are you going at night? The bathroom to put camera. It doesn't seem to change much? Most rooms are locked at night and there wasn't new options in the ones open so bathroom. But where are their new pictures outside of their shower days?

 

[DeUglyOne]

So, is there a regular PC version or is it only for Gameboy?

Wait... removing save slots, removing sprint? Fuck that noise!

K, the post made it sound like that's blocked in some way. Haven't tried it myself since I rarely touch first releases.

As for the grind, well... that's kinda what RPGmaker does, isn't it?
Lots of walking, clicking and grinding is kind of the basis of most RPGM titles and some do it quite successfully. It was designed for RPGs after all.

And yes, the gameplay does rely on selling convenience to the player in some ways.

Oh, ok.
Probably not for me then, especially on an engine that's already not terribly convenient for games that aren't based on exploration and turn-based fights.
Best of luck though.

I am talking about money. The grind to buy the items you need. It's tedious. Photo sells for 60, camera cost 80, or the 150 makes 2 photos, depending on stuff, you might get robbed and only one photo. Like buying 80 camera and no photo. Except you need photo for blackmail. If you can figure out an entire album. Aside from that is the big money needed for stuff. 350 to unlock the first room then 400, you need some tools for stuff, 140 and 78. There are a bunch of other items. Like the micro body cam at 299.

You make from 500, 190 every 4 or 5 days. You make 20 a day off a girl. Thursday you make 50. Depending on what week you are you started getting money from the breast enlargement milk. It costs 62 and gives an additional milk every week you give another selling for 16. So the more weeks the more milk. I am getting 4 panties currently making 18 each a week. But I am charged 120 a week to rent the room. You get an extra 10 on Sat and Sun.

The economy is crap. I haven't got the huge 2200 upgrade yet. I don't know what it does. Otherwise I am bored shitless. The grind is tedious and the economy is crap. There isn't enough there giving a reward. Or making that grind easier. I am like day 40 someting. I fucked about with cameras trying to do stuff. But the photos were mostly the same on each day of the week. The girl has a shower day, more or less same picture. It's missing something, but it's crap getting money.

Alright, that does sound pretty fucking annoying. One of the reasons I don't like RPGM for anything that isn't an RPG.
At least the saves should be easy to edit, so I guess I'll wait a few versions and then see how much content there is without the grind. If it's really just pixelated AI art then there ought to be plenty of it.

I think it's a demo. So the stuff is limited or I am playing it wrong? I don't know. The idea is to generate something from the blackmail. But I cannot figure it out. They use bathroom for the albums needed. But I am not getting the photos shown on the frontpage.

It is very tedious generating money.

It starts worse. Although you can start making some money every few days, plant has 80, and you start with x2 two camera, equals 200, Thursday 50, enough for vending machine 250 generating 80 every few days which you upgrade to 500, 190 every few days. It still takes time. A lot of the same action over and over and over again again again. The reward????? The kitchen girl should be simple to do something with, you trap her room, and give her condoms, I haven't seen what that does?

Now I delete. Gamebreaker. I ignored the girl giving 10, and the game hangs. Save point is drinking some stupid drink, costing. No autosave. No manual save. Gamebreaker. Ignore the girl asking you to lick her boots, giving 10, and the game hangs.

How do I install it gang

 

[BobCarter]

if what I have read is correct, that tag is referring to being applied to the player. I will state for the record that I haven't played this game but the context points towards the MC being the target

Could be MC doing it to others

 

[DownTheDrain]

Could be MC doing it to others

In a game that takes place in a women's dorm?
With the description mentioning femdom and to either "abuse them or get abused and let them make you their little toy"?

It's gonna be the MC.

 

[summersolstice121]

Hi dev, just went thru the game for an hour. The game's too grindy af, with little to no reward. Economy's so bad that I don't feel like playing that whole ordeal. I assume this would improve since it's still in the demo phase. Also, the idea of removing the save option to drinking beer? That's a bit of dealbreaker here, not to mention that it's not quite cheap. Overall, I think the mechanics need some sort of changes.

 

[Boodstain]

coffee is the cheapest and infinite. Shouldn't a problem at all in the late game. And yes, the gameplay does rely on selling convenience to the player in some ways.

Why even have coffee be attached to sprint in the first place then? If it's cheap and infinite isn't that essentially just wasting the player's time and resources for a resource that really should just be free and available at all times? If sprinting in general isn't attached to any gameplay beyond the player's time spent getting from point A to point B, then you need to ditch any mechanic revolving around refilling it, because it's a waste of the player's time and our own development time locking it away behind an in-game-in-currency paywall. Also never limit saving in these kinds of games, when people don't know what to do or don't know where they are going, it's harmful to prevent them from making safe states to be able to backtrack or revisit scenes as they are.

Grind isn't a mechanic it's a chore, and especially in these genres of games. Idk why it would be considered to be added in any form.

Putting random instant game overs on a dialogue option is always a bit annoying, but putting them in a game where you rarely save because it costs money is pure evil, and is just going to make people stop playing (like i did). I was enjoying it before that, though. I really liked the scenes and characters, but the grind was a bit much. I played because of the sissification tag, i didn't see any of that before i got booted out. So don't get me wrong, i definitely liked the game. It's a great start content-wise, and look forward to seeing it grow but pay-to-save and no-reason game overs are going to leave a sour taste for a lot of people.

Haven't played yet but I like grinding in a femdom game
